KSE?holds Kuruba leaders' meet, talks Ahinda to counter BSY

August 9, 2016

Bengaluru, Aug 9: In a new turn to the tussle between senior BJP leaders B?S?Yeddyurappa and K S?Eshwarappa, the latter convened a meeting of leaders of the Kuruba community and also played the “Ahinda” card on Monday.

BSYEshwarappa, who belongs to the Kuruba community, is cut up with Yeddyurappa for sidelining him while appointing office-bearers to the Shivamogga unit of the party.

Yeddyurappa has appointed S Rudre Gowda as the district president of the party. Gowda had contested as the KJP nominee against Eshwarappa in the 2013 Assembly elections.

Eshwarappa has been boycotting key meetings of the party to register his unhappiness. On Monday,?Eshwarappa convened a meeting to revive the Sangolli Rayanna Brigade, a registered but defunct social service organisation, apparently to send a message to Yeddyurappa that he cannot be taken for granted. Addressing the gathering, Eshwarappa said the brigade will take up district-wise enrolment drives soon. The brigade will not be restricted to the Kuruba community. Those belonging to minority, other backward classes and dalits can also enrol themselves with the brigade. It will hold a convention in Haveri during the third week of September, he said.

Political observers feel that?Eshwarappa is trying to play the Ahinda card (Kannada acronym for minorities, backward classes and dalits) and emerge as a leader of these communities and consolidate his position in the party.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, when he was in the JD(S), consolidated his position in politics by conducting Ahinda meetings. It paid him dividends as he emerged as an Ahinda leader.

Eshwarappa had recently complained to the party leadership against the style of functioning of Yeddyurappa. It is said that many party leaders including Bhanuprakash, Raghunath Rao Malkapure and Somanna Bevinamarad endorsed Eshwarappa's view before the party leadership.

Bengaluru, Feb 4: Karnataka High Court on Monday reserved order on plea, seeking cancellation of bail granted to Nithyananda for skipping the trial and fleeing the country.

After hearing the arguments, the court has reserved the matter for further orders which will be pronounced on February 5.

The plea, which was filed in the high court on January 23, was heard by Justice John Michael Cunha.

The counsel for the complainant Lenin put forth arguments that the self-styled godman Swami Nithyananda had fled the country to escape the trial. "Nityananda has been claiming to be in India in his exemption petitions filed before the trial court but during that time he sought asylum in Ecuador and is having a second passport," said Lenin.

The prosecutor informed the court that they do not need his presence for the trial at this time.

Nithyananda, accused of rape and child abuse, has been absconding since November 2018.

In December 2019, the Ministry of External Affairs said that the passport of Nithyananda was cancelled and a fresh application of the same was denied as he did not get the requisite clearance from police and several criminal cases have been lodged against him.

Police in Ahmedabad had arrested two woman administrators of the ashram, allegedly owned by Nithyananda, and freed two boys who were held captive there.

Two of his disciples, Pranpriya and Priyatattva, were arrested on the basis of a complaint filed by one Janardhan Sharma who alleged that his daughter was held captive in Nithyananda's ashram.

The police took the two women to Nithyananda's ashram in Hathiajan for an investigation and seized laptops, mobile phones among other things.
